Find and Click ?Run?

Click the plus next to ?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?

Click the plus next to ?Microsoft?
*
Click the plus next to ?Windows NT?

Click the plus next to ?CurrentVersion?
*
Click ?WPAEvents?
*
On the right panel, find ?OOBETimer? then double click it.
*
Now, Delete all the Values by highlighting it, then delete it
*
Then type in this value without the quotation mark ?FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD?
*
Then after that click OK,
*
Then on the left panel right click WPAEvents, then click on permissions
*
Then click System or SYSTEM, then Deny Full Control, then Click OK.

To Verify that it works, go to start, then ?activate windows?, or go to start, then all programs, then ?activate windows?. Or go to the Start menu, click Run.
